Fisherman's Cove Guesthouse

Fisherman's Cove Guesthouse is a bed and breakfast guesthouse at 8 Triq Tas-Silg in Marsaxlokk, the fishing village on the south-east coast of Malta, close to the harbour front. Marsaxlokk is famous for its brightly painted luzzu boats, its fish restaurants along the waterfront and its Sunday market, where stalls sell fish, produce and souvenirs. Triq Tas-Silg takes its name from the Tas-Silg archaeological site on the nearby hill, which contains remains of Phoenician, Punic and Roman temples, and the guesthouse is a reasonable base for visiting it. St Peter's Pool, the Delimara peninsula and its walking paths and small coves are a short drive away. Valletta is about 40 minutes by bus, and Malta International Airport is roughly 10 to 15 minutes by road, which suits visitors who want a quiet village base near the airport. The guesthouse offers Double Rooms with air conditioning and Wi-Fi, and breakfast is included in the bed and breakfast arrangement, which gives a simple start to the day before exploring the harbour. There is no advertised pool or spa, and lunch and dinner are typically taken at the harbour-front restaurants, where fresh fish is the speciality. Service is informal and personal, characteristic of a small guesthouse, and the property suits couples, photographers and budget-minded travellers. Typical double room rates run from about EUR 60 to EUR 110 per night depending on season, indicative rather than live figures. Marsaxlokk is busiest on Sunday mornings and in summer, when day visitors fill the waterfront. Public buses serve the village, but a taxi or hired car is useful for reaching Delimara and beaches in the area.
